Benefits of technology

[0010]In view of the foregoing problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an information management apparatus and method for medical care data, in which medical care data of patients can be utilized for a secondary use in addition to a primary use in an enhanced form with reliability and safety, and non-transitory computer readable medium.
[0027]Consequently, medical care data of patients can be utilized for a secondary use in addition to a primary use in an enhanced form with reliability and safety, because preparatory processing is performed in order to relocate confidential data of medical care to published data.

Problems solved by technology

However, a very rare example of the attribute data may lead possibility of identifying a patient only with the attribute data even after deletion of the patient name, for example, a very rare blood type.
There is a problem in that the medical care data does not have benefits for the secondary use assuming that all of the attribute data are deleted from the medical care data by considering an identifiable form of the patient.

first embodiment

[0048][First Embodiment]

[0049]In FIG. 1, a medical network system or medical network system architecture is constituted by medical data systems (medical data system frameworks) of plural hospital facilities 11 or medical service providers, and a medical support server apparatus 12 disposed externally to the hospital facilities 11. A WAN 13 or wide area network interconnects the medical data systems and the medical support server apparatus 12 in a communicable manner. The WAN 13 uses a wide IP network (Internet Protocol Network) managed by a communication service provider as a base network. The WAN 13 is a closed network by establishing VPN (Virtual Private Network) on the basis of the wide IP network. The use of the VPN prevents leakage of information and ensures the security.

[0050]The medical data system (medical data system framework) includes a HIS 14 or hospital information system, a management server apparatus 16 or information management apparatus (information sharing apparatu...

second embodiment

[0137][Second Embodiment]

[0138]Checking of a patient consent in the request manager 62 in the first embodiment is exactly according to reception of the patient consent from the patient. However, it is possible to perform relocation of data by activation with a flag signal as illustrated in FIG. 13.

[0139]Assuming that no consent is received even upon lapse of a predetermined time after transmission of a request, then the processing of the relocation is performed under a condition of supposition of probable consent. Let the request manager 62 not receive a consent after transmission of the request (no in the step S140). Assuming that a state without receiving a refusal (no in a step S141) is continued for a predetermined time (yes in a step S142), then the request manager 62 performs the processing of the relocation with the supposition of probable consent from the patient. In short, reception of a presumed consent (provisional consent) is performed upon a lapse of the predetermined t...

third embodiment

[0141][Third Embodiment]

[0142]In FIGS. 14 and 15, reference information of the anonymization is variable in plural levels of the anonymization in the anonymizer 63, the levels being associated with levels of difficulties in identifying the patient. A data amount of attribute data (age, blood type, medical history and the like) of the patient after the anonymization is small according to highness of the level of the anonymization, to increase difficulty in identifying the patient. In contrast, a data amount of attribute data of the patient after the anonymization is large according to lowness of the level of the anonymization, to facilitate identification of the patient.

[0143]For example, it is possible for the anonymizer 63 to perform the anonymization in plural levels of levels 1, 2 and 3. The levels 1, 2 and 3 are listed in an increasing sequence of highness.

[0144]The level 1 is a method of anonymization, so-called connection anonymization, in which true names of the patients are ...

Abstract

An information sharing apparatus (management apparatus) for medical care data of a patient body includes a data uploader for classifying the medical care data into confidential data for a primary use in medical care of the patient body, and published data published for a secondary use different from the primary use, to store the confidential data and the published data in a storage medium. A problem event detector monitors the confidential data being added or updated, to check occurrence of a problem event of clinical exacerbation of the patient body. An activation processor checks occurrence of a flag signal for activating relocation of the confidential data to the published data upon the occurrence of the problem event. A relocation unit filters the confidential data at least partially to produce published data upon occurrence of the flag signal after the occurrence of the problem event.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority under 35 USC 119 from Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-046949, filed 10 Mar. 2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an information management apparatus and method for medical care data, and non-transitory computer readable medium. More particularly, the present invention relates to an information management apparatus and method for medical care data, in which medical care data of patients can be utilized for a secondary use in addition to a primary use in an enhanced form with reliability and safety, and non-transitory computer readable medium.[0004]2.
